📹GAMEPLAY FOOTAGES

Rick CrossChain @RickCrosschain

Tapping into lesser known web3 indie games. This one has really cool game mechanics and uses the chain so you can gamble on your skill with their token ( $VXON ). Check out ⁦@voxnetxyz⁩

✨ Karel Vuong @0xkarel

This @The_Beacon_GG x @KaijuKingz dungeon was a doozy... ... but still managed to do my no damage run (almost gave up though)! Super fun having boss battles in the game. (Drops were commensurate with the effort put in 🙃) ✨ #TheBeaconNoDmg #TheBeaconMechaKaiju

George 🐢 @GeorgeInTheMeta

Another game for @ianahatesboys to try in web3 This it was @PlayElumia on the @PolkastarterGG stream. Had a lot of fun!

📚EDUCATIONAL CONTENT

• Embernodes
  old but gold article about gaming guilds.

  • Guilds should aim to become a net value-add to a game.

  • Increase players retention : Events/Tournaments/Social Immersion

  • When I read my notes from this article, I always want to start a guild.

  The road ahead for gaming guilds

• Captain BTC about the biggest hurdles in web3 gaming adoption.

  • Gatekeeping games with expensive NFTs.

  • Accessibility. (ever tried to play a web3 game with a non-crypto friend? try, and see how hard it is for him.)

  • We need better gameplay.

• Ilkka Paananen wrote about what's next for Supercell.

  Some quotes:

  • "Creating a hit game is really hard, and requires a lot of luck too." "But [...] repeating this success is even harder."

  • "Understand what players want and what draws them back to the game for years."
